How Radio Waves Changed the World
Students will choose a radio wave application that they would like to research and compile the most pertinent information to present and share with the class about the uses and applications of radio waves. Students will work in teams of 2-4 people to research, create, and design the best digital and oral presentation.
NGSS Standards
HS-PS4-3 Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful that the other.
HS-PS4-4 Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter.
HS-PS4-5 Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
